VOICEOVER: Despite its reputation as Brooklyn's uptight (and expensive) big brother, Manhattan should not be overlooked as a destination in and of itself. Accessible by public transport, Manhattan is a great choice for a daytrip for Brooklynites as well as tourists looking to go off the beaten path.

No one else has any ideas, they are too busy working on Wall Street and asking their doormen to rehang their moderately expensive paintings. Those crazy Manhattanites!

The traditional gifts indicating that Brooklyners come in peace are artisianal foodstuffs. Maybe we can lure a Ryan with them?
